Time Tracking

I am looking for some equipment and software because I work for a manufacturing company and we are having a few problems tracking job times. Each employee gets paid per piece that they finish. I need some way of knowing how long each person takes on each part of the job because right now they are overlapping. This cannot happen. Please help.

Don't get it

ie the begin and end. How is it being collected. Manually, indirectly, physical tracking through a production line?

Whatever system you put in place, wholly automatic, wholly manual or somewhere in between, there's got to be some recorded event that can be taken to beginning work and completed work.

Does the overlap matter anyway? if you are paying per piece complete, then the number of those per operator signalled as complete per payment period is the only thing that matters. If they only do four in a day they get $4.

If you want to judge slower versus faster operators do some stats and work out a target performance.

No idea waht you manufacturing process is.

But as a for instance, if the job was pick up a door, paint it, put it in a drying area.

The operator might get more done by picking up three at a time, so the times will overlap. If you 'punish this' they get less pay, but you get less production...
